I found a great deal to like in this book. The friends-to-lovers trope is an old one, making the ending obvious right from the start, but it was very well done here. Alex and Poppy were sweet together, and their banter was clever and fun. They were real three dimensional characters with backgrounds and histories that explained a lot of who they were. I liked the multiple timeline structure, flashing back and forth to previous summers.
But the predictability of the plot and the repetitiveness of the holidays in different places made this slow-going for me. And there was a "big reveal" which seemed anti-climactic when it finally happened.
All-in-all a fun light-hearted read which wasn't quite for me.
With thanks to NetGalley and Penguin for the e-ARC of this book.
